We have ended the war on American Energy -- and we have ended the war on clean coal. We are now an exporter of energy to the world.

What the hell was he attempting to say here?

steverbeaver says

Every couple of minutes I was thinking to myself: "Thank God Obama is gone!"

I was thinking "Thank God Hillary lost the election." Bill would have been in a back room banging an intern, female or male.

A small selection of heroes today.

Contrast that with the high-on-the-Maslow-Scale virtue signalers soon to engage in punditry on the news stations.

I saw Democratic response. It was just a colossal whining in comparison. That's what Democratic party has become, a party of whining SJW's.

Trump delivered a truly memorable speech about jobs, something America needs! It's pretty clear the direction we are heading in.

Trump does not have the speech giving skills that Clinton and Obama had.

And that's a good thing, we don't need MORE lip service.

Yes, there is a reason why they say "You sell the sizzle, not the steak" Those who just go by the sizzle are the suckers.

Maybe Hillary ran for President just to get into the oval office, to take revenge on Bill, by having a male intern eat her pussy.

Yep the direction Obama set us in after The Republicans Depression

And the NY Times, true to form, has to find negative things to say about Trump no matter what he does:

Trump Can Sell an Improved Economy, but Not Himself
By PETER BAKER 14 minutes ago

He passed tax cuts, and the economy he inherited continues to grow. But many Americans still hold dismal views of Mr. Trump.

Many Americans held still hold dismal views of Mr. Obama too, but the NY Times would absolutely never print such a statement. Why is that?

rando says

1. They forgot to check their 401K statements.
2. They think America is a "shithole" country.
3. Trump succeeds where Obama failed. Denial.

Where did Obama fail, but Trump succeeded?

Everything Trumpcucks are touting as success is merely a continuation of Obamas success

I wish people would stop repeating the propaganda so i can stop defending Obama with the simplest of truths. Reality shouldn’t clash with your view of the world so violently. I don’t even like Obama, I just have a nagging duty to protect the truth. Like Patrick always said, it is important to tell the truth. He also said to question those on the opposite side of the truth, what are you afraid of? The fear of proving that your hate for Obama was always only about his skin color

Well if we’re being honest here, it looks like The S&P tripled under Obama. It looks like it’s up about 27% under Trump.

Outside of emotional feelZ by the Trumpcucks, i dont see a break in the trend line, nor any action by Trump that warrants crediting Trump with Obamas economy.

If truth and reality is so important, how about overlaying what REALLY made that market rise under Obama:



Without multiple rounds of QE injected, that market would have flatlined. Obama had NOTHING to do with the rise.

Proof, here is the DOW chart for Obama's last two years, after QE was shut off:



This is Obama's recovery WITHOUT help from the FED, was that so wonderful?

That's called a recovery.

Obama was a miserable failure here.

Yep, we're glad that is finally cleared up!

errc says

By what metric?

GDP. It was stagnant under Obama. Starting to move up under Trump.

ISIS. Obama was a miserable failure here. Even the Russians did better.

By what metric?

Rise and fall. ISIS rose under Obama. Pretty much destroyed under Trump.

errc says

North Korea. Obama did nothing. He could not even stop the Chinese from supporting them.

By what metric?

China.
China kept the North Koreans alive under Obama. They cut off the life line to NK under Trump.

Not to mention, the Trump market just for this January is up almost 1500 points, where it barely grew 700 points the whole last two years of Obama.

That's called a recovery.

Look at your own chart again. Where was the S&P when Obama became President? You are not being honest by calculating the gains from the lows during Obama's term.

I'm seeing a chart posted by you that does not even show the last 3 years, least of all the huge jump in stocks since Trump was elected. Why so dishonest?
If you have to be dishonest, it tells me you know perfectly well of Obamas failures, yet refuse to acknowledge them.

Thanks for proving my point. Draw a line on your chart from jan 20th 09 to jan 20th 17, obamas presidency. The trend is in tact. Looks like it got ahead of itself a little bit mid 15- mid 16, consolidated, and then resumed the trend mid 2016, long before Trump took office. So you agree with me, I’m correct.

So you show a chart until June 2015, from which you claim Trump did an inferior job compared to Obama, even though Trump became President in 2017.
ROFL. Based on your chart, Trump may not have even been born.
Gosh Errc, if you want to be deceptive, please show something that is not so easy to piss on.

Obama stretched the facts in his final SOTU on jobs, deficits, health care, military spending and carbon emissions.

Summary
President Barack Obama’s final State of the Union address came up short of the facts on several topics:

He embellished his record on jobs, citing “more than 14 million new jobs,” without mentioning that’s only private sector jobs and only since the job losses hit bottom in February 2010.

Obama similarly omitted part of his presidency in boasting of nearly 900,000 manufacturing jobs “in the past six years.” Over his entire time in office, manufacturing jobs have gone down by 230,000.

And he said he had cut the country’s deficits by “almost three-quarters.” But that’s measured from fiscal 2009, which included some increased spending by Obama.

He repeated his now years-long claim of crediting the Affordable Care Act for a slowdown in health care spending, which economists have linked mainly to the economy. In fact, the growth rate jumped in 2014, when the law’s coverage provisions were implemented.

Obama claimed, like he did in 2014, that the U.S. has “cut carbon pollution more than any other country on Earth.” That’s true in terms of total tonnage but not in terms of percentage reductions.

He said that the U.S. spends “more on our military than the next eight nations combined.” That’s close enough in terms of dollars, but as a share of the nation’s economy, the U.S. is only the fourth highest of the top 15 countries.

Patrick says

If someone gets shot, and the response is "He’s a Piece of Shit", that sounds very much like a justification for the shooting.

How long does one have to wait after someone gets shot before they can call the poor bastard a piece of shit? I mean, can Scalise skate through the rest of his life without fear of criticism? You seem hyper defensive, here.

The economy hasn't changed much since Trump took over. It's basically continued Obama growth. The reason that Trump doesn't get democrats applauding low unemployment (even among the blacks), is because the long ass trend in lowering unemployment has been ongoing for 8 yrs. Trump is just trying to take credit for Obama's success, and everybody left of the aisle knows it.

The stock market has raged due to optimism over getting a tax cut, which makes stocks more valuable. It's likely due for a bit of a correction.

Trump gets props for not breaking shit yet. I'm actually quite impressed by that.

The crowd roars their approval! Hail Ceasar! Let the gladiator games begin!

FNWGMOBDVZXDNW says

The market has shown a complete change in environment from the Obama admin. Trumps exec orders and leadership are the difference.

Only the most brainwashed partisans left of the isle give credit to Obama for this.

NPR last week was on this...
"So who owns the economy when a President takes office?"
Kick.

They swore up and down that Obama inherited the bad part of his economy, but credited him for every green shoot that happened in spite of his policies to stop them.

Trump is performing as expected. I said all through Obama's administration that Presidents own the economy the minute they take office.
Obama spent his first 6 years blaming Bush for everything. He stopped bashing him the last two, because he needed to play nice with Bush to save his legacy.
So they paraded him around like he was a great President that still endorses the Obama house.

When Trump ran I swore up and down, I would blame Trump for every peak and valley and not Obama or Bush.

Strategist says

Rise and fall. ISIS rose under Obama. Pretty much destroyed under Trump.

Do you want to take a stab at explaining the policy changes that brought that about?

Are you referring to the stock market? If you read my comment, you will see that I stated that the stock market has raged, and gave a reason for that. Are you saying that you do not differentiate between the stock market and the economy (GDP/jobs/etc.)?
